You won't regret it - an amazing evening
Kat_N
, Oct 2021
Paola and Tiziano were great hosts and we would highly recommend this. The evening felt really tailored, was only us and not merged with other people and we learnt a lot about the region, local food and seasonal produce. As a confident cook with friends less so experienced, it was a good starter for pasta making and Paola had prepared the most part of the meal so it's more about learning rather than cooking from scratch the entire meal. Was a lovely starter, pasta course, secondi and pudding, paired with local wine. If there are more than 4 of you, you might need to pay a small subsidy for transfers but Tiziano will arrange. All in all we left saying it was one of the best and most memorable evenings in Puglia.

Cancelled the morning after payment went out due to an illness that was several days old apparently. Waiting for a refund. We were in Lecce so spoke to someone locally and had a different but wonderful pasta cooking course run privately.

Paola and Triziano provided a great evening of good local food and an introduction to making many types of local pasta. We practiced making local pasta, of all different shapes, then sat down to great wine, conversation and food. It was a lovely evening that we will always remember of Lecce.

Tiziano and Paola delivered to us an incredible experience, something definitely to remember. It was a beautiful day together where we felt welcome from the very beginning being immersed in a very home and friendly environment. The cooking class with Paola was fun and engaging, and the food was made by simple but delicious ingredients, as the local tradition wants. I definitely recommend it!
